Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0789417A1] A dielectric resonator includes a cylindrical hole (4b) formed in the intersection of two resonator elements (2a,2b) forming a TM dual-mode dielectric resonator element (2). The hole (4b) extends in a direction across the thickness of the TM dual-mode dielectric resonator element (2). Furthermore, a quadrangular pyramid-shaped hole (4a) having a closed end is formed in each connecting part between each resonator element (2a,2b) and a cavity wall so that each hole (4a) extends from the outer surface of the cavity wall toward the inner portion of each resonator element (2), wherein the inner wall of each hole (4a) is covered with a conductor (3a) electrically connected to a cavity conductor (3). The shapes of the above holes (4a,4b) are determined so that the TM dual-mode dielectric resonator element (2) has the same resonance frequency for both TM 110 and TM 111 modes. The above arrangement makes it possible to provide a low-cost high-performance dielectric resonator having characteristics similar to those of a three-mode dielectric resonator, which can be produced in a small overall size. <IMAGE>
